Capoliveri

Capoliveri is a coastal town on the island of Elba in Tuscany, Italy, and it’s a common base for scuba diving in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Most diving is done from boats, with a mix of rocky coastlines, underwater walls, and drop-offs that suit both relaxed dives and more advanced descents depending on the site. Visibility can be good when the sea is calm, and you’ll typically see Mediterranean reef fish around rocky structures, plus occasional larger marine life that varies with season and conditions. Because it’s an island gateway, dive centers in Capoliveri commonly organize day trips to nearby sites across Elba’s coasts rather than diving strictly from the harbor every time.
